Diane Keaton plays an extraordinarily crazy mother. Every time I watch this film, I get so bothered at how insane (the mother) and easily manipulated (the other 30-something characters) everyone was.
I definitely would've like to see Mandy Moore take a different approach to her character, as at times her acting can get whiny. Then again, hoping their character's traits have been greatly exaggerated, maybe that's what the director was going for.
Really appreciated Lauren Graham's change of acting performance.
Overall, it's a movie that you can't stop watching. You finish it absolutely hating the mother, but then two months later, you'll get the urge to watch it again.
